[2025 Kaohsiung Attraction] Travel Guide for Hamasen (Updated Jul)

The Hamasen Railway Cultural Park in Kaohsiung has unveiled a "giant banana" installation as large as a train and is hosting a "Banana Party." The event features a selection of local agricultural products, banana-themed desserts, and a special appearance by Japan's Mojiko mascot "Banana Man" along with members of the Banana Hawking Association. They will present an authentic Japanese-style "banana hawking" performance. Additionally, a variety of family-friendly shows will take place throughout the event. Hamasen was historically a key hub for trade in Taiwan. In the 1960s, it became a major exporter of bananas to Japan, with bananas from across the country transported via rail to Kaohsiung Port for export. To celebrate the park's recent upgrades, a giant banana installation has been created, highlighting the unique characteristics of Kaohsiung's port and its agricultural heritage.

I was able to take some beautiful photos at Formosa Boulevard Station, which is just one stop away from Kaohsiung Station on the MRT. In Hamasen, you can enjoy relaxing art on the wide grassy field. There seems to be a railway museum, so there are many ways to enjoy it. It is easily accessible by LRT. Cijin can be reached by ferry from Xizihwan. You can take the ferry with an EasyCard. I went there on a weekend morning. There is a quiet beach after passing through the food stalls. The food stalls were crowded after noon, so I recommend going in the morning. Xiziwan is also home to the British Consulate at Takao, and after returning from Cijin, I had afternoon tea at the consulate. The rose-leaf tea was delicious. #TaiwanTrip #KaohsiungTrip #February2025

You must try the delicious snacks (Wanquan rice cakes and meat balls) at Gushan (Hamaxing) Light Rail Station. This afternoon I went to Cijin and took a ferry at Gushan Ferry Station. I got off at the light rail (Hamaxing) station. I saw a big triangular window sign (Wanquan meatballs, rice cakes) in the ferry station. Noodle soup and four-god soup are all my childhood memories. I was greedy so I went in and ordered (meatballs, stewed meatballs, four-god soup, meat soup, rice cakes). I wanted to eat everything 😋 I took a bite and found that the meat soup was made of red meat and was very chewy. It tasted very good. It had a strong garlic flavor and sweet and sour taste. I took one bite after another. I was still not satisfied after finishing the whole bowl. The rice cake was chewy and chewy. It was topped with braised pork and fish floss. It was a perfect match 😋. It is worth recommending to everyone

The heavy vault, which once stored valuables, has been repurposed as a unique coffee brewing room where coffee beans are carefully extracted at low temperatures to maximize their flavor. This process results in iced coffee with reduced bitterness, rich body, and delicate aroma. Enjoying a special cup in the serene space of the former bank is an extraordinary experience, offering a sense of timeless luxury. Additionally, the interior design incorporates historical elements of the bank, preserving its original charm while providing modern comfort.
